Scotland-based art collective Transgressive North has teamed up with the children’s charity Love in Action to launch Everything Is New, an international arts project to help aid and support India’s Dalit (“untouchable”) children. On January 20th, Everything Is New will release two jam-packed benefit albums featuring a who’s who of U.S. and UK indie acts.

The first album is the latest from Scottish indie rockers Marram, entitled Sun Choir, and features contributions from Jarvis Cocker, Owen Pallett, doseone, author Irvine Welsh, and more. The children’s chorus present throughout the album is comprised of kids from Love in Action’s Light of Love Children’s Home in southeast India.

Proceeds from the “Everything Is New” campaign will help provide food, clothing, education, and medical care to children throughout southeast India. Each album includes the 70-minute Everything Is New film, an “inspiring movie about the turning of the earth and the play of children. It tells a mythic story of togetherness, peril and hope.”

Below, check out a video about “Everything Is New” followed by both tracklists:
